GEORGIA GLEAN1NGS.

Harley Tabor, of Gilmer,, has Just
paid 81 100 for large dapple-gray
Norman-Percheron stallion. He is
l68 hands high, weighs LOO pounds.
Ernest Rogers, the youngest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. G. Rogers, who
live in Muscogee county, near the
Double Churches, stuck splinter
in his foot and died from lockjaw.
George Rausenberg, a brakeman
on the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad, was crushed to death
at Cohutta Friday. He was mashed
between a car and the railroad bridge
at that place. He was a son of DR..
II. II. Rausenberg, of Cohutta.
John Pinkstone, negro, who at
tempted to murder IL. A. Ford, last
Friday, at Surrency, was not cap
tured. Mr.. Ford was an engineer
for Mr. McDonough on his road, and
he and the negro had some words.
The negro gathered an ak, and Mr..
Ford, being unarmed, ran. The
black chased him around his engine
two or three times, when he dealt
him murderous blow. 1t is re-
markable that Mr.. Ford lived mo
ment. The ak went into the brain
from corner to corner. DR.. Comas
removed a portion of the brain be-
fore closing the wound Ford died.
Jimmy Boon, the 14-year-old son
of B. f. Boon, of Hawkinsville, went
out into the woods with his gun to
hunt squirrels on Monday morning
of last week. The little fellow soon
found squirrel in a tree, and he
began walking backward to get a
good shot. He was so excited that
he never looked behind him, and he
walked backward in a well 90 feet
deep. There was some brush and
pieces of wood in the we'll, and the
little fellow kept above the water,
while his gun went to the bottom.
He shouted until his voice was near
ly gone. Fortunately man and his
little son passing that way heard the
voice of some one, and after looking
around TOR awhile they found the
well and sa" the little boy bravely
holding to the pieces of wood. More
help was soon obtained, aud a rope
was let down and Jimmy tied him
self around the waist. He was drawn
up about half way, when the rope
slipped and he fell back to the bot
tom, bruising himself and spraining
his ankles. He again fastened the
rope around his body, and this time
he was brought safely above the
earth.
Jasper Porter, who lives five miles
above Jefferson, was atiianced to
Miss Ward, who lived in the neigh
borhood of Walnut church in Jack
son county. Mr.. Porter had an en-
gagement with the young lady to
visit her Saturday night before the
first Sunday in this month, and to
accompany her to church on Sunday.
On his way TO fill his engagement on
Saturday evening he had to pass
Walnut church. Seeing congrega.
ton in the church, he stopped and
found that funeral services were be-
ing held over the remains of some
one. Being a partial stranger in the
community he made no inquiry as to
who had died. When the casket
was opened he passed around to see
the corpse while relatives and friends
were taking their last look at it, and
to his painful surprise, his eyes fell
upon his affianced, cold in death.
Unable to control his emotions, he
gave way 10 the greatest lamenta-
tons and could not be comforted.

The New York World prints inter
views with a large number of mer-
chants OF that city and SUMMARIZES
the results as follows; The fall trade
has opened briskly in all leading
lines, and with promise OF better
business than for many seasons.
The Southern demand is unusually
large, owing to good crops. The de-
mand is good from the West and
Northwest, but none so large as it
would be but for the drouth in some
localities. CONNECTIONS have been
exceptionally good.

The farmer has many causes fol
complaint, but he has the remedy in
his own hands if he will but apply il
to do this efieetually he must or
ganize. 1t will not do for him to de-
clare in a perfunctory way his appro-
val of the object of the organization.
Victories are not won by the half
hearted fighters. 1t is earnestness
that carries of the honors. If the
farmer wishes relief from unjust ex-
actions, he must do something more
than mildly protest The first step
Is to organize and attend the meet
ings Of the organization.

A dreadful story is told Of Chilli

against neighbor, and, when the
smallpox recently appeared in the
province, he obtained number of
dried pustules and put them inside a
plug Of tobacco, which he placed
where the people he hated were like
ly to see it. The neighbors found it,
made cigarettes from it, and smoked
them. A few days afterward small
pox broke out in the house and with
such yirulence that no one of the fam
lly escaped. The fenG was attacked
with the disease a few days atterward
and died, after coniessing his crime.

Bleeding for sunstroke has proven
successful il Two desperate cases in
New York hospital. Six ounces Of
blood about as black as ink when it

the heat Of the patients bodies had
affected the blood so seriously as to
impede the circulation.

Quaint Sayings of a Gambler

AS doc" Martin, widely-knOwn gam
bier, is dying at his home in Cincinnati.
The Enquirer of that city narrates few
Of his quaint sayings, as follows:
No more even-tempered person ever
lived than ''Doc." His originality is re-
markable. Yesterday, ill though he was,
and scarcely able to hold up his head, he
was the same old Doc. Looking out of a
window. he noticed coming along the av-
enue smalI-sized horse hitched to bug
gy. The clatter of the horses boots
could be heard square away, and from
the noise one would imagine that he was
going at a break-neck speed. But he
wasn't. Instead, he was scarcely moving.
Doc looked at the animal few minutes.
A smile curled about his lips. Then he
remarked:
'Great horse, isn't it? He could trot
upon plate"
Some rich stories are accredited to Doc.
Twenty-Five years ago he landed in this
city. He came here from Newark, @
He had been a farmer, and selling out his
place came here. It was not long until
he had spent all of his money by playing
If against the groom cloth. Later he
cropped into faro game on Vine street
as dealer. It was poor game.
''How do you like your game, Door"
Marsh Siddons asked him one day.
''Game!''-. | would rather be out
holding horse on d dark day in the
rain.''
At another time he was at Hot Springs.
It was in the early days. Things were
coming little tough for him and his
friends. One day they were seated in
front of a small hotel. large hog,
with an enormous, lengthy head ca~ae a.
long.
ssGreat heavens isn't that long headed
hog?" remarked one of the party.
"They have got to be long-headed to
get along down here" was Docs quiet
reiOinaer.
